Thanks Henrique and Rafael, Really appreciate the reply! I didn't realise Lenovo doesn't support this effort in some way. Indeed, I rmmod thinkpad-acpi, and then suspended, and still it doesn't resume. I had assumed it was thinkpad_acpi. Is there someone I can contact or another list that's more appropriate? There should be enough info in those three links, but myself and a number of other people are happy to help debug.
